LANDesk Server Manager
Your business depends on the strength of your information services infrastructure for maintaining its competitive advantage and optimizing revenue and agility. While it’s impossible to guarantee 100% server uptime, with the right server management solution you can substantially reduce downtime.
LANDesk® Server Manager: Comprehensive Server Management
Help your staff better ensure uptime and become more efficient at making real decisions by using a mixture of historical and real-time data in LANDesk® Server Manager. It lets your staff intelligently control the levels of automation required for patches, images and updates. And it allows them to use a single console for hardware and operating systems from different vendors for decided advantage when negotiating pricing.
LANDesk Server Manager can further help you and your staff:
- Save time by proactively planning for capacity and upgrades and accessing usable data through log consolidation, grouping and software license monitoring.
- Remain in control of the patch management process with user-defined degrees of automation.
- Gain immediate return on your investment with intuitive alert, agent and dashboard configurations that provide immediate value.
- Improve customer satisfaction and better meet company service levels with broad platform support.
- Maintain high server performance with access to high levels of insight and control with minimal intrusion on the server operating environment.
LANDesk Server Manager supports your enterprise servers, commodity servers and blade servers with low-impact management services that let you choose your level of management coverage—from simple information gathering to extended performance analysis, security and configuration control.
Save Time and Maximize Availability
LANDesk® Server Manager’s dashboard lets you access real-time server health anytime, anywhere. If a server needs attention, drill down instantly to see detailed information and run remote problem resolution tools. Or launch the full management console directly from the dashboard for easy access to remote diagnosis, repair and configuration tools. Active monitoring lets you predict and repair many issues before they become problems, so you can ensure maximum server availability.
Control Your Level of Automation
Integrated active vulnerability scanning, patch selection and patch distribution tools help you keep up with critical updates and maintain performance and security for each server, regardless of operating system or hardware configuration. The Patch Management Scheduler and on-demand technology let you validate and deploy patches and custom scripts. You control the degree of automation used while minimizing impact on your critical server resources and services.
Realize Immediate Value
LANDesk® Server Manager’s advanced problem resolution capabilities let you identify and repair performance issues before they become problems. Launch an application-layer remote control session to resolve configuration issues immediately, deploy software and control services on each individual server as well as store recent performance data for key components. Then use reports to analyze data to identify trends and pinpoint component failures that trigger system failures.
Built-in Intel® vPro™ capabilities let you discover, heal and protect Intel-based hardware assets for reduced downtime and minimized desk-side visits. And with the industry’s most comprehensive support of the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), you can access hardware health and get out-of-band access and remote power controls. IPMI lets you cycle server power over the network to restore services quickly and ensure maximum availability and gather hardware information even if a processor isn’t functioning.
In-band monitoring capabilities also let you gather extensive performance information directly from the server’s hardware, software and OS using standard data sources, such as CIM, WBEM, WfM, WMI, IPMI and SMBIOS.
Maximize Value, Minimize Intrusion
A stable, lightweight on-demand management agent lets you maximize server performance and reliability while minimizing impact on network resources. It loads services only as needed and immediately unloads them when management tasks are complete. And most tasks, including remote control and software distribution, run in the application layer to reduce impact on server processes and ensure overall reliability and performance.
